their basic degree or their studies. It is also an advantage for
those who wish to work and learn at he same time. It is good for
those who wish to pursue their degree even after they have
discontinued years back. The cost of distance learning is not
high, but varies according to the kind of course chosen. Mostly
students in the country side prefer this concept, as the city
population is less when compared.
